Anti-inflammatory Drugs Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Anti Inflammatory Drugs Market Analysis

The Anti Inflammatory Drugs Market size is estimated at USD 110.94 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 166.81 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The anti-inflammatory drugs market is poised for substantial growth, driven by rising incidences of autoimmune, inflammatory, and respiratory conditions and growing research for safer new anti-inflammatory drugs. Conditions like arthritis, allergies, and chronic inflammatory diseases are on the rise, driven by factors such as aging populations and lifestyle changes. Hence, the need for anti-inflammatory drug treatments is expected to increase, boosting the market’s growth over the forecast period.

There are alarming health disparities linked to chronic inflammation, particularly among vulnerable populations. For instance, in January 2024, a study spearheaded by a researcher from the University of Florida’s College of Public Health and Health Professions revealed that individuals grappling with chronic inflammation and living in poverty face a two-fold increased risk of succumbing to heart diseases and an almost three-fold heightened risk of cancer within the subsequent 15 years. Similarly, in 2023, a study spearheaded by Mainous showed 34.6% of US adults exhibiting signs of systemic inflammation. This shows the risk of inflammation and the need for proper treatment, which is expected to drive the market’s growth over the forecast period.

The growing accessibility of anti-inflammatory medications, driven by new product approvals and strategic partnerships aimed at developing innovative therapies, is anticipated to enhance market growth in the coming years. For example, in February 2024, AbbVie Inc. and OSE Immunotherapeutics SA established a strategic collaboration to further the development of OSE-230, a monoclonal antibody targeting chronic and severe inflammation, which was in the pre-clinical stage. This kind of trend is likely to expand the product offerings, contributing positively to market growth during the forecast period.

Therefore, the growing burden of inflammatory conditions and continuous innovations in anti-inflammatory drugs are expected to drive market growth globally. However, the side effects related to anti-inflammatory drugs and patent expiration of various branded drugs are expected to restrain market growth over the forecast period.
